Here, gathered in our beloved South Dakota, are a few members of our Williamson / Mattson Clan. Charles and Luella are to be blamed (be kind, they didn't know what they were doing). We're generally a happy bunch and somewhat intelligent (notwithstanding our tenuous grasp on reality). I'm also proud to say that most of us still have our teeth.

Hello Williamsons,Something for the Williamson side of our family tonight. Let us begin with a Relationship Chart.

Tonight I'd like to share the document that contributed to the creation of this family we call Williamson. I'd like to show you the Marriage Certificate of our Great Great Grandparents Whitley and Nancy Morris. They were the parents of our Great Grandmother Effie Helen Victor. Effie married William Jonathan Williamson and of course - here we all are.

You've noticed the posts to this family blog are not as frequent as they once were. The cause is understandable. Up until recently I've been posting the 'easy' family history. Think of it as the low hanging fruit on the family tree. It is becoming more difficult to find information the higher (or further back) we go. This means that instead of spending 30 minutes to one hour gathering information for a post, I'm now spending hours and hours - resulting in a few posts per week instead of one per day as I was doing.

Regardless, please rest assured that although the frequency of my posting has diminished, the enthusiasm is still there. I'm researching and searching every possible lead and will continue to do so until this American story is told.

Warning! Please Read On.

Tracing one's genealogy can be a tricky endeavor. Once you move past three or four generations, the information you discover on the internet may or may not be accurate. What you read on this blog represents the best I've found using Ancestry.com, The LDS Church's Family Search, and Google. Corrections are gladly welcome. Please send your information to AnAmericanDynasty@gmail.com

I'm interested in information on two family lines in particular.

I'm searching for our Vercellino family from Northern Italy and our Mattson /Tornberg family in Sweden. Again, you can reach me at AnAmericanDynasty@gmail.com
